Okay, first off… WOW… this one packs a wallop starting right up front with the prologue. The Directive has been compromised. There’s corruption in the upper echelon. Someone’s planning a coup, and he’s gained followers by promising a new regime where vampires will not only walk among the humans, but they will be their rulers!
Gunner is a vampire and a regulator with The Directive. His best friend Blaine is a wolf shifter and a lawyer. Together they’re going to gather proof and bring it to Jana Neskova, wolf shifter and second hand to Mago Zara, a very ancient vampire and head of The Directive.
They recruit Blaine’s friend Lee who is an Alpha. Jana has secured Lee a position in the District 7 offices where he can covertly have access to files and information that will help uncover the plot.
Lee started working the keyboard his very first day looking for files and he meets Piper, who is a Leopard shifter …..suddenly The Legendary Hunger hits him. Piper is Lee’s intended….It’s actually very funny how this plays out because when Lee brings her with him and Gunner gets a whiff, he says she’s his bloodmate!
Man, I thought there was gonna be a wolf- vamp rumble for sure, but It turns out that Gunner was picking up the smell of Pipers best friend, Imogen, who is human….
The Thirst is upon Gunner and he’s sucking down those blood bags like crazy trying to tamp it down, keep the agonizing pain at bay until he can have her…. when Imogene meets Gunner, she realizes that he’s the man she’s been seeing in her dreams.
Yes, they are fated bloodmates.
But wait! There’s so much more to come. There’s still a kidnaping and an absolutely Epic, fur flying, turn to dust kinda fight and confrontation still to come. And hell yes, I recommend this to 18 + due to erotic content. Trust me, this seriously delivers the goods!
I absolutely loved Gunner and Imogen. Imogen is so sweet and just wants someone to love her. Like all us girls do. Gunner just has some terrible luck. I highly recommend this book.
Gunner was once one of the finest operatives the Directive had. But when he came to close to uncovering the traitors embedded within the Directive itself, he was framed for murder. Now isolated from the other prisoners, ostracised by former friends and allies, he only has himself and his best friend to rely on.
Blaine manages to strike a deal with Jana to get Gunner released to track down the traitors and topple the proposed coup of the Directive hierarchy before it can get off the ground. But a new threat to Gunner’s mission is coming his way, one which he did not reckon on…his bloodmate. All of her human but enshrined in the supernatural world care of her best friend.
Lee comes over quite camp to outsiders but the guy is in touch with his feminine side and he is not above using his metrosexual side to win over the ladies! His former pack ousted him as Alpha cos they were browbeaten by a couple of homophobic Neanderthals! Now he has been sucked into Gunner’s plans and he might just get a surprise of his own…one which kickstarts a Hunger!
This was a great collision between Vampires Thirst and Werewolfs Hunger worlds, it was like 2 books for 1! I loved the way both couples were wrapped in their own plots but meshed really well into the overarching story. Imogen is sweetness and light and a great counterpoint to Gunner’s world-weary former inmate. Imogen may be human but that is no bar to being a bloodmate thankfully and though she doesn’t get the insane bloodlust, she does get almighty fine dreams!
Fab reading!

Gunner is a Vampire who works for the Directive. Six months ago Gunner was working on a case that he was going to break wide open, he was so close. Instead he was framed for murders and sentenced to 500 years in jail. Now his friends Blaine Batiste who is a Lawyer an a Wolf Shifter and Alpha Lee another Wolf Shifter are going to prove his innocence.
Imogen aka: Immie is a human just opening her business of a traveling washing dog Van. Lately every night she has restless sleep always dreaming about a tall lover. Telling her bff Lee was embarrassing when he asked for details but felt good to talk about it. Now Lee has a plan.
I have voluntarily read this book and my comments here are my own and honest.

This is a fantabulous ebook and you actually get more than one story. The main story of Gunnar, a Vampire who is a Regulator for the Directive, who is falsely accused of murder and sentenced to 500 yrs. in jail. Due to the efforts of his friend and lawyer, Blaine, (who knew he was innocent) he was released on probation for 1 month to find out who really did it. Gunnar is suddenly hit with a bad case of the Thirst. He finds his Bloodmate, Imogen, who is a human, and she is kidnapped which puts Gunnar on the edge of insanity.
Blaine gets the help of his friend Lee, who is an Alpha Wolf and who left his clan so a civil war wouldn’t break out. There was a faction that didn’t care for his feminine side (he was brought up by all women). He agrees to help Blaine Suddenly he gets hit with the Hunger and remembers his mother telling him what is was. Luckily he finds his mate Piper, who is a leopard shifter. Add to this mix, is an evil traitor inside the Directive to complicate matters, which ties in with Gunnar’s arrest.
This book has it all – edge-of-your-seat suspense, twists & turns, hot sex, some humor and a nice surprise at the end. Highly recommend this book as well as the whole series. Would love a more in-depth story about Lee. They are all fantastic stories.
